Genocide is mass murder. You seem to be saying that the normal process of people dying is a form of genocide. I disagree. We can reduce our birth rate to below the natural rate of death and start fixing the population problem. We do that naturally by reducing food production. Just take more land out of production, reduce the amount of water poured into deserts, reduce subsidies for quantity. There are lots of options.

Let me ask you this, is it humane to do things to increase a population to unsustainable sizes such that they collapse in famine? When for whatever reason, war, interruptions in trade, etc, thousands die of starvation? Why is that ok in your mind?

Did I say electric prices must skyrocket? If you don’t believe these problems can be fixed with gradual change, then you don’t truly believe in the techno utopia.
